Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FranceThe only thing that sort of put a damper on our amazing experience here was being over charged when paying with card. I don’t know if it was human error or intentional, but whenever they’d calculate the 3% surcharge for paying with card, I noticed it was closer to 30%. To combat this, I suggest either paying with cash, or learning how to calculate percentages.
This place is just paradise, just next to the point where you can see the turtles. We spent all our mornings snorkeling there, and it was amazing. The bungalow is very nice, the hammock is a plus and the shower is beautiful. You have access to beach beds and a swimming pool which are very nice. The food is good, & the cocktails too. the staff is very friendly. We highly recommend this place !

IndiaThere's sand and pebbles on the bathroom floor. Although it feels nice aesthetically. It's not practical . As it takes time for water to drain and the bathroom is never completely dry. Maybe that's why there were many many mosquitos in the bathroom.
Amazing hardworking staff. Awesome location with a sunrise spot and snorkelling spot right infront of the property. Good food. Rooms were comfortable.

AustraliaWould have liked clean bed linen and a fresh towel even a toilet clean or ability to do this cleaning ourselves during our stay. We stayed 7 days, there was no service.
Staff are wonderful Just an ideal location to snorkel and chill on the beach. Food is cheap. Accommodation is rustic but quite adequate. Atmosphere is just fantastic. We loved our little corner of paradise, and will certainly come back sometime soon. Accommodation is rustic and authenthic Indonesian. We loved that. The team looked after us really well. We felt like part of the family.

GreeceDoor closes only if you lock with the key. No one cleaned inside and we didn’t have toilet paper. Small things that they can change easily.
Nice chill place close to the sea with friendly staff. They can arrange boat tours for snorkelling and rent of bicycles. We liked the breakfast and also our dinner. The BBQ fish is really great! Nice area for chilling by the sea and enjoy some drinks. Overall it was nice 3 days stay at Gillis. If you are looking for relaxation is the perfect gateway! Totally recommend.

United StatesBed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable/hard, even more uncomfortable than most beds I’ve had in Indonesia. AC doesn’t really cool the room (room wasn’t hot, but it was not great, it was pretty warm at night).
Great value for the location, it’s right by the beach, good swimming spot, about a 3 minute walk from the most popular snorkeling spot (where you can see the turtles). You can have breakfast by the beach (breakfast was basic but good). You can roll out of bed and walk outside and see the most beautiful sunrise by the beach (located in the sunrise side of the island). Bungalow had a hammock in the front. Staff was nice.

AustraliaWe didn't use the pool for a couple of reasons- the beach was so close; the pool was out in the open and had no seating area or furniture.
The location was very good- right on the beach with lounge chairs and beach gazebos. A long walk to the ferry terminal; many woud use the horse and carriage (cimodo) to get to the accommodation from the ferry. The staff were very friendly and were willing to make us coffees early in the morning, even though breakfast was not available until 8am. Breakfast basic but adequate. Cold water showers, comfortable bed.P
